The Maryland Summer Center for the Arts shares and supports SU’s commitment to
the community and has forged strong partnerships with area organizations and
businesses. Collaborating since 2001, MSCA and the Salisbury Wicomico Arts
Council have co-sponsored five major performances in Holloway Hall, bringing
thousands of patrons to campus. Summer 2006 featured the artistry of
internationally known violist Miles Hoffman.
Each year Salisbury’s Barnes and Noble Booksellers sponsors MSCA’s orchestra and
musical theatre students at in-store events. In 2007, acting students will
expand this outreach effort by offering storytelling experience in the
children’s literature area of the store. Off the peninsula, students have been
featured at the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Inner Harbor, the Maryland
Institute College of Art and Oriole Park at Camden Yards.
“MSCA has been an incredible experience. I never thought I would have had so
much fun. Not only did I try new techniques and create artwork, but also I made
new friends. I was stunned to meet many other great artists who shared the same
interest as me. Through MSCA I was able to ‘open up’ and do new things. I’ve
never had so much fun in two weeks!”
